On Tour with David R. Carr
ET EVERYONE in your community know about the fine work the BPO Elks does! After you have finished read- ing your copy of The Elks Magazine, just remove your name and address, and do- nate the magazine to your local
library, your doctor’s office, your dentist’s office, your car repair shop waiting room, or any other public place where people sit and read for a while. By doing this, you allow other people to enjoy the successes of the BPOE, and perhaps they will want to join, or have their children participate in some of the Elks youth programs. The BPO Elks can help many people in your commu- nity, and you also can use The Elks Magazine to inform them about the Elks and let them know what is available for their charitable and civic needs. Donate your copy of the magazine and show that Elks Care—Elks Share.
u GER David Carr attended a ceremony at the Watertown, NEW YORK, Lodge in which the North Central District and Ontario District lodges donated more than $3,700 to the USO Fort Drum.
